Register ArcGIS GeoEvent Server

You can register ArcGIS GeoEvent Server to collect system health and performance metrics.

Prerequisites for monitoring

The following prerequisites are necessary for monitoring GeoEvent Server:

• ArcGIS Monitor Agent must be installed on the GeoEvent Server machine and must be registered with ArcGIS Monitor Server.
• GeoEvent Server must be running on ArcGIS Enterprise 10.7.1 or later.
• The ArcGIS Server primary site administrator or an equivalent user account that is assigned an administrator role type is required to register GeoEvent Server for monitoring.
• Authentication requires ArcGIS Server token-based security. Other forms of authentication such as Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) are not supported.

Register GeoEvent Server for monitoring

You must be assigned the Administrator or Manager role to register components.

To register an ArcGIS GeoEvent Server component, complete the following steps:

1. Access ArcGIS Monitor if necessary.

   The Home page appears.

2. Click Monitoring.

   The Monitoring page appears. Registered components are listed alphabetically by component name.

3. Click Register component.

   The Register component wizard appears.

   Note:

   If you don't have sufficient privileges, Register component is not available.

4. Choose the Monitor Agent machine where the component is installed.

   The Component type page appears.

5. Under ArcGIS, choose GeoEvent Server and click Next.

   The Component details page appears.

6. Provide a name for the component in the Component name text box.
7. Optionally, provide a description for the component in the Description text box.
8. Optionally, click Apply Labels and choose the labels that you want to apply to the component.

   Tip:

   Provide the name of a label in the Enter label name text box to search for a specific label. If the label doesn't exist, click Create new label to add the label and apply it to the component.

9. Click Next.

   The Connection page appears.

10. Provide the credentials for GeoEvent Server in the Username and Password text boxes.
11. Click Register component.

    The component is added to the list of monitored components on the Monitoring page.

Once a component is registered, you can configure alert rules and add the component to collections.

Note:

Other component types, such as the enterprise GIS implementation's underlying hardware infrastructure and databases, must be registered individually to enable monitoring.

Observers

The following table describes the observers that are responsible for collecting GeoEvent Server attribute and metric data:

Observer name	Description
Inventory	The Inventory observer scans for changes and manages attribute data across GeoEvent Server. The default interval for this observer is 5 minutes; however, you can configure it to run at longer intervals since changes to GeoEvent Server are typically infrequent.
Metrics	The Metrics observer collects GeoEvent Server metric data. The default interval for this observer is 1 minute to retrieve data frequently. It is recommended that you do not run this observer at longer intervals.

Collected attributes

The subsections below describe the attributes that are collected for GeoEvent Server and its connectors and services.

GeoEvent Server attributes

The following table lists the attributes that are collected for GeoEvent Server:

Attribute name	Description	Data type
Version	The software version of GeoEvent Server	String

GeoEvent Server connector and service attributes

The following table lists the attributes that are collected for GeoEvent Server connectors and services:

Attribute name	Description	Data type
Configured state	The state of the GeoEvent Server connector or service	String

Collected metrics

The subsections below describe the metrics that are collected for GeoEvent Server and its connectors and services.

GeoEvent Server metrics

The following table lists the metrics that are collected for GeoEvent Server:

Metric name	Description	Data type	Unit
Connectivity	The agent's ability to successfully connect to the component.	Float	Percent
Events Received	The total number of received events	Float	Total
Events Received Rate	The receive rate of received events	Float	Events/second
Events Sent	The total number of sent events	Float	Total
Events Sent Rate	The send rate of sent events	Float	Events/second
Events Total Ratio	The ratio of all sent to received events. Values approaching one indicate the rate of sent events is equal to that of received events.	Float	Total
Events Rate Ratio	The ratio of sent to received event rates. Values approaching one indicate the rate of sent events is equal to that of received events.	Float	Total

GeoEvent Server connector and service metrics

The following table lists the metrics that are collected for GeoEvent Server connectors and services:

Metric name	Description	Data type	Unit
Events Received	The total number of received events	Float	Total
Events Received Rate	The receive rate of received events	Float	Events/second
Events Sent	The total number of sent events	Float	Total
Events Sent Rate	The send rate of sent events	Float	Events/second

Default alert rules

The following table lists the default alert rules that are configured for GeoEvent Server and its connectors and services:

Metric name	Aggregation	Operator	Info threshold	Warning threshold	Critical threshold	Samples
Connectivity	Average	Is less than	—	—	100	2

Note:

The default alert rules in the table above are the rules that are configured for components when Monitor is first deployed. If your Monitor administrator has configured default alert rules for the Monitor deployment, the values for the rules above may vary.
